Geckos is a place for Defence members, partners and families to build friendships, socialise and access information to assist with the challenges of a Defence lifestyle. The centre staff are familiar with the challenges for Defence members, partners and families due to the absence of members from home and the mobile lifestyle associated with Defence Force service.

The centre is located in Building 501 on Lavarack Barracks. Entry is on Mansford Drive and is signposted from the main gate of the barracks.

The centre is available outside of these hours for other functions, however, bookings are essential.

Geckos hosts a number of events and activities for Defence members, partners and families and the facilities include free Internet, tennis court, children's playground, outdoor patio area and air conditioned spaces.

A diverse range of groups utilise the centre to provide services and activities. Some of these include CamKids Playgroup, Mums, Dads and Bubs group, Sewing group and Meditation.
